use this form to understand how to facilitate a trauma clearing and to actually do one

You will need extra paper to write down the answers. Hand
these notes over to the person clearing the trauma when you are
finished. It's helpful, to play healing music, such as Enya,
while doing the trauma clearing.

Trauma
Healing Form

Below is the
Trauma Healing form. Use when facilitating an emotional
healing session. Print out and make copies. Leave the
open spaces to have room to write out the answers. Print on
one side of the paper only so that the back sides can be used
for additional writing if needed. Feel free to share all
of this with others.

[Note: When
working with military personnel, it may be necessary to
integrate the caring self [pre military programming self] with
the combat self. This may be necessary before feelings are
accessible for healing. If the traumatized person has a
difficult time accessing emotions, please refer to handouts in
workbook addressing this.]

Questions to
ask in a Trauma Healing

1.

Subjective
Units of Distress Scale = SUDS On a scale of 0
to 10, where 0 is no distress and 10 is maximum emotional
distress.

What are your
suds? What is your distress level?

Write down suds
here_______:

2. If you were
to really get into this upset, how high would your suds go?

Write this
number down here:_______

3.. What are
you feeling now? Write down list of feeling words here [20
approximately].

Give TP
[triggered person] plenty of time to be silent and go within
to check in with feelings. If they say one or two feelings
words, such as:
angry, betrayed, and then look at you, read back the words and

then say, "Go
within and see what other feelings you have." Don’t interrupt
their silences. These silent times are when the most important
inner work is being done. Keep them doing this until you have
at least 20 feeling words.

4.. Read back
feeling word list. Ask, "When have you felt this

combination of
feelings before?"

Make list of
memories that trauma clearing person remembers. [Need
approximately

5 memories of
times he or she has felt this way before]. Write them here:

5. Start with
the first memory, and repeat with each one in the list.

Ask,

"If you had a
magic wand and could magically heal all the feelings associated
with this memory, what would it do to your overall suds?

Write this
number down next to each memory.

The one with
the greatest lowering effect of overall suds is the memory you
want to clear.

6. Ask the TP
[triggered person] to give this memory a name or title.

Write it down.

Now ask, "How
long will it take you to tell me this memory from start to

finish?" Write
down the number of minutes. _______

7. The next
step is to then ask, "When you went through this emotional
experience, what negative ideas and beliefs about life ,
aboutthe nature of reality, came from this?

What negative
ideas did you start believing?"

Write down list
of negative ideas here:

(Typical
examples: The people I trust the most betray me the most. I
cannot trust anyone. I am not loved. I am not safe.)

8. Read back
the list of negative ideas. Now ask, "What positive ideas
about reality did
you get from going through this trauma?"

[Note: Usually
TP will say that there are not any positive ideas. Ask them to
go within and
find at least three. (Typical examples: "Well, I survived." "I
was

strong and got
through it." "Somehow I learned to depend on myself." "A
higher power protected me.")

9. Stillphoto:
Now ask the TP to pretend that he or she has a scrapbook of
their life. Ask them
to describe the photograph of this trauma. Describe where,
what

time of day,
lighting, furniture or room or place, who was there, ect . Be
sure that they
describe the scene, but do not let them start telling the
trauma yet.

Write down the
description of scene here:

10. Now tell TP
to tell you out loud the entire memory from beginning to end. (DO NOT
INTERRUPT ANDDO NOT OFFER ADVICE. The healing process is
within

the TP, and
their attention must stay within. Any interruptions, no matter
how well
intentioned, will break their process and concentration.) As
they tell you,

write it down
here:

Note: if at any
time in the tell-retell sequence they make a comment
expressing something that
they wish could have happened, guide them to go ahead and do
this

in their
imagination. For example: TP says, "I wish I could have [I
should have] told my
father [buddy, friend, wife] _____________________[that I
loved

them, that they
should stop, that I am not going to take this any more]. Tell them to take
plenty of time to do this and to pay close attention to what
the

reaction is
from the other person. Remember that brainwave patterns in
reliving feelings are
similar to having a dream, and that interaction with the
memory,

just as
interaction in a dream, causes deep changes in the psyche. In
this case it is a
spontaneous healing image bursting from the deepest levels of
the inner

being.

This applies
also to a spontaneous need to pray, or ask from help from a
higher source. Have
them go ahead and do this in their imagination. [See book:

Remembering Our
Home by Sheila F. Linn, William Emerson, Dennis Linn and
Mathew Linn.
Available through Amazon.com for documentation and explanation
of this

process.]

These
processes, of course, create healing images in the mind. These
healing images are
very important. A memory is composed of 3 things. This is
known as

PET = a still
photo of the memory or visual image, emotions, and thoughts.
All three must
change for the trauma to be permanently healed.

The final image
is called the resolution image. This is the image that the TP
will remember of this memory in the future.

11. Now ask the
TP to remember the entire memory again silently. Wait
patiently while they do
so. Remember that any upset, crying, anger. is good. Have
Kleenex

on hand to give
them for tears. Have a pillow on hand to muffle their screams
of anger and
rage, if necessary. When they are finished, ask them what
their

suds are now.
Write this number down here:_______

12. Now ask the
TP to go through the entire memory out loud again from
beginning to end. It is
not necessary for them to repeat anything that they have
already

said, they can
if they want to, or they can just say out loud new stuff that they are now
remembering as they go through the memory. Either way is OK.

Ask TP what
their SUDs are. Write it down here._____

The SUDS,
subjective units of distress scale, may go up or down, either
way is OK.

Sometimes in
reliving a painful memory, the SUDS can spike up as long
suppressed information is accessed.

Write it down
here as they talk:

13. Now ask the
TP to remember the entire memory again silently. Ask what
their suds are now. Write this number down here:_______

14. Now ask the
TP to go through the entire memory out loud again from
beginning to end. Write it down here as they talk:

15. Now ask the
TP to remember the entire memory again silently. Ask what
their suds are now. Write this number down
here:__________

16. Now ask the
TP to go through the entire memory out loud again from
beginning to end. Write
this down here:

Ask TP what
their SUDS are now. It should be going down fairly
consistantly at this point.

Write it down
here._____

[During
tell-retell, the TP gets new insights into why the trauma
happened in the first
place. There will be insights into what was going on with the
other

people in the
trauma. Compassion and understanding for self and others will begin to
appear. Images of healing will spontaneously arise often at
these

times. For
example, the patient could say, "My father was worried about supporting us,
and he was acting out his rage and frustration about this and

really didn't
mean to act so bad toward us. He really loved us deep down. I
see him turning to
me and wanting forgiveness and understanding. I see it in his

eyes." At this
point suggest that the TP tell the father whatever he feels in response to
this.

These insights
are called ‘healing images’. Be sure to write these healing

images down.

17. Ask them to
remember it silently again. Then ask, "What is your suds?"
